If nothing else, Galloway demonstrated how beautiful English
can be sound.

I am sure he knows how to pronounce Nuclear, and can separate misunderstanding and underestimating.

Especially after watching Enron, the movie, was nice to see someone proudly facing a Congressional committee and standing his own, not trying to weasel his way out.

3. And just how low the bar has been lowered in the US...
when it comes to democracy in action (i.e. telling truth to power) in a very public setting (i.e. US Senate)

Galloways testimony (aka truth telling) came as a shocking breath of fresh air. Yet another indicator of just how dangerous this fascist administration is and where they are dragging the country.

9. I was thinking at the time that he used mostly Anglo-Saxon words
Instead of the tortured Latinate vocabulary or use of jargon of someone who is dissembling. It was both refreshing and powerful.
